3. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6" (152 mm)
between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to
the valve.
4. If the valve is not installed on the tank, cut the 1” central pipe flush with top of each tank. Lubricate the large o-ring on the
valve that seals against the tank. Screw the valve on to the tank. Be careful to not cross thread the valve into the tank. Only
use silicone lubricant.
5. Connect the drain line to the valve.
6. Connect the brine line from the valve to the air check / safety elbow as per figure 8. Double check to make sure all
connections are assembled correctly and the brass and plastic nuts are tight and secure to prevent leaks.
7. Add water until there is approximately 1" (25 mm) of water above the grid plate. If the tank does not have a grid, add water
until it is above the air check in the brine tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
8. Place the unit in the bypass position.
9. Slowly turn on the main water supply.
10. At the nearest cold treated water tap nearby remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or
until the system is free of any air or foreign material resulting from the plumbing work. Close the water tap when water runs
clean, then proceed to start up instructions.

Start up Procedure
1. Plug the valve into an approved power source.
2. When power is supplied to the control, the screen will display TIME OF DAY and DEFAULT GALLON SETTING. If the valve is not
in service it will read “CANATURE” while the valve returns to the service position.
3. If the system has been inactive, you may have to hold and press ‘ ’ until you hear a beep to unlock the display screen. Press
“ ” to initiate a manual regeneration and advance the valve to the Backwash position. Open the inlet on the bypass valve
slowly and allow water to enter the unit. Allow all air to escape from the unit before turning the water on fully then allow
water to run to drain for 3-4 minutes or until all media fines are washed out of the softener or filter.
4. Press the “ ” to advance to the BRINE position. Check the water level in the brine tank to insure the valve is drawing brine
properly.
5. Press the “ ” to advance to the RINSE position. Check the drain line flow. Allow the water to run for 3-4 minutes or until the
water is clear.
6. Press the “ ” to advance to the REFILL position. Check that the valve is filling water into the brine tank. Allow the valve to
refill for the correct amount of time as displayed on the screen to insure a proper brine solution for the next regeneration.
7. Press the “ ” to advance to the SERVICE position. Open the outlet valve to the bypass, then open the nearest treated water
faucet and allow the water to run until clear, close the tap and replace the faucet screen.
8. Put salt into the brine tank.
Control Operation During A Power Failure
In the event of power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The programmed settings are stored in a
non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure. If power fails while the unit is in regeneration, the valve will
return to the service position once power is restored. If the valve misses a scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will
queue a regeneration at the next regeneration time once power is restored.
